                           GUILD OF THIEVES
                               Part 1


You thought you  knew  everything  there  was  to  know about stealing
treasures, right? WRONG! Here you are  in  a rickety old boat with the
master thief who tells you that you are a rank amateur and you have to
PROVE yourself! Hmmmmph! I'll bet  he  would  have been KILLED in that
Pyramid, and I'll BET he never got a Babel Fish in his entire life!

Oh well, let's show the old  geezer  what  we're made of. Now hold on.
You don't want to get wet, so don't just recklessly head off West. See
that rope? The rope is about  two  meters  long, right? Well your legs
AIN'T, so PULL  ROPE  and  then  WEST  and  you'll  save  the bath for
Saturday night. Let's take a  moment  to  see what provisions we have.
You're carrying a Swag Bag (look  up  Swag in your Oxford Dictionary).
OPEN BAG THEN LOOK IN IT will show you that you have the indispensable
tool of all Adventurers, The Lamp!  LOOK  IN  POCKET and you will find
that you also have a  plastic  card  which  might come in handy later.
Meagre pickings, but we've started  with  less!   WEST again will take
you to an area where you'll  spot  an  old man struggling along with a
trunk. You'd better HELP MAN,in fact,  if  you don't, you'll never get
into the castle and you'll fail  miserably!  You  and the old man will
end up at the castle  where  the  gatekeeper will lower the drawbridge
for the old man, who will disappear inside with the trunk, never to be
seen again. As a matter of interest, before helping him, you might ask
him about the  trunk,  the  castle  and  the  baron.   With the castle
invitingly open,  you  can  go  NORTH  where  you'll  be  met  by  the
gatekeeper who will deposit you in  the  Entrance Hall. Along the way,
he will tell you about his favourite hobby, Rat Racing, and promise to
let you know when the race is about to begin.  A couple of notes here.
The rat race is variable and will  take place sometime in the next 20-
60 moves. You have to be either downstairs or in the corridor upstairs
in order to hear him shout at  you.  If you miss his warning, the race
will take place without you and you will  not be able to win any money
(which you need desperately.)  This walkthru is written from a LOGICAL
standpoint. There  are  faster  ways  to  complete  the  game  without
backtracking, but you would have to  do things without knowing WHY you
were doing them.
Okay, we're alone now,  so  let's  start  exploring.  Go WEST into the
Lounge and the only interesting thing you'll  see is a bucket. LOOK IN
BUCKET and TAKE COAL that  you'll  find  there.  BREAK COAL and you'll
discover a fossil. Not the most exciting thing in the world, but we'll
keep it anyway. Now SOUTH  to  the  Gallery. Here we'll discover three
paintings, each important in its  own  way. EXAMINE PAINTINGS and TAKE
OIL PAINTING since it's  described  as  a  classic  and  is, no doubt,
valuable. The watercolour depicts an  interesting  scene -- keep it in
mind for future reference  especially  the  words.  The gaudy painting
doesn't look like it belongs here.  If  you move it, you'll discover a
safe here; but since you are  not,  and never will be, a safe-cracker,
leave it alone. It's not  important.   SOUTH  again will take you into
the Drawing Room. The red  leather  settee  is obviously out of place,
and if you EXAMINE SETTEE  you'll  find  a  cushion. OPEN CUSHION THEN
LOOK IN IT and  you'll  find  a  Note.  (Remember,  this  is a British
creation, a Note is money, not something  you read!) TAKE NOTE then go
NORTH twice and EAST to the  Entrance  Hall.  This is a  good, central
location to dump stuff. Unfortunately,  there  is no Legless  Horse in
this game, and the swag bag  is  definitely NOT bottomless. Going EAST
will take you to the Dining Hall  where  you'll  see a Bear in a cage.
Also in the cage is a  Platinum  Chalice, and there's no question that
THIS is a treasure! Unfortunately  the  cage  is  locked, and the bear
looks testy anyway so leave it for  now.  SOUTH again will take you to
the Kitchen. The cupboard looks inviting, so OPEN CUPBOARD AND LOOK IN
IT and you'll find  some  rat  poison  and  a  jam  jar. TAKE ALL FROM
CUPBOARD and head SOUTH again to  the Servant's Quarters. OPEN CABINET
THEN LOOK IN IT and you'll find  a  key.  TAKE KEY then SOUTH again to
the gatekeeper's Bedroom. If you  LOOK  UNDER  BED  you'll find a tub.
OPEN TUB THEN LOOK IN IT  and  you'll  find a Maggot. Yeecchhh! But it
must be useful, so TAKE TUB.
About this time you should hear the gatekeeper shout that the rat race
will start soon. Go NORTH three  times  and WEST to the Entrance Hall.
DROP ALL BUT NOTE AND SWAG BAG. (You don't want the gatekeeper to know
you're a thief, do you?) Besides,  if  you  try to pass the gatekeeper
with any treasures,  the  results  will  be  fatal!  Now  SOUTH to the
Courtyard. The gatekeeper will begin setting up for the race, so WAIT.
He will then ask you if you'd like  to bet and give you the odds. This
MIGHT be a variable, but every  time  I  played,  the Grey rat had the
longest odds. In any event bet on  the  rat with the longest odds (you
need lots of money!). So BET ON  GREY RAT WITH NOTE. You'll be treated
to an exciting description of the  first  race at Santa Courtyard; but
never fear, your rat will win.   The  gatekeeper  will give you a VERY
dubious looking cheque (check to  you  Americans), but it's all you'll
get so settle for it. He will  then depart, leaving a birdcage behind.
Leave it for now.
Time to explore some other  areas  and  get  some background on what's
going on here. Go SOUTH (don't  ever  spend  more than one move at the
Gatehouse unless you are talking to the gatekeeper. He will escort you
back to the Drawing Room if you  do.  SOUTH and WEST twice to the Cave
Entrance. Now GET LAMP AND  LIGHT  IT,  it  gets  pretty dark in these
caves.
WEST again will take you to the Junction Chamber, from which all roads
lead. We'll try SOUTHEAST first. Here  at  the fork in the road you'll
find an iron gate  to  the  southeast.  OPEN  GATE  THEN SOUTHEAST and
you'll see a gravedigger  plying  his  trade.  Ignore him, he's pretty
morose. EXAMINE YEW TREE and you'll  spot  some berries. You might get
hungry  later  so  GET  BERRIES  then  NORTHWEST.  Now  SOUTH  to  the
Undertaker's Parlour. It's locked  up  tight  (no,  the key won't work
here) but that shouldn't  stop  a  Thief.  BREAK  WINDOW and SOUTH and
you're in! There's a casket here,  which is useless. You'll notice the
counter has a flap in it, so  LIFT  FLAP  and SOUTH. The only thing of
interest here is the Till. You'll  find  a button, so PUSH BUTTON THEN
LOOK IN TILL and you'll find  a  coin!  GET  COIN then NORTH twice and
WEST.
Here's the "Ba k of Ker vn a." If you READ NOTICE you'll find that the
bank is closed due to no  business.  Don't  bother trying to break in.
You can't. We'll get it open  another  way. The bank is closed because
the Thieves, who used to deposit all  their loot here, have gone away,
and there's no business. Maybe you  can  fix  this. You'll also find a
night deposit safe here. What we  are  going  to do is deposit all our
treasures in the Bank in the hopes that it will reopen.



                             GUILD OF THIEVES
                                  Part 2


Okay, now that you know what to do with your treasures, let's get down
to some serious hunting. From  the  Bank  go EAST, NORTH, NORTHWEST to
the Junction. To the southwest you'll see some very large, substantial
looking iron bars blocking your way.  Just  for kicks, try BREAK BARS.
Aha! Just as you thought, the old Polystyrene-Bars-That-Look-Like-Iron
trick! Now SOUTHWEST and you'll find  a skeleton. EXAMINE SKELETON and
you'll find it has one of its finger bones resting on a chest. Just to
be safe, let's GET FINGER AND  CHEST.  Then  OPEN CHEST AND LOOK IN IT
and you'll find a heart. (Where ELSE  would  you expect a heart to be,
but in a chest? Isn't British humour wunnerful?)
Now go SOUTH and you'll find  yourself  up  to your knees in a stream.
Follow it WEST to the Top of the waterfall. There's a rope ladder here
and if you EXAMINE LADDER you'll find it's tied in a tight ball. UNTIE
LADDER and the ladder will unroll.  Don't bother going down -- there's
nothing you can do down there now.
Go EAST, NORTH, NORTHEAST  then  EAST  four  times  then  SOUTH to the
Wheatfield. You'll see a windmill  operating  in  the distance. If you
try to talk to the Miller he  won't  hear you because of the windmill.
So SHOUT HELLO and the  Miller  will  answer. Then SHOUT STOP WINDMILL
and he'll shut it down.
Now SOUTH and sit down to talk with the Miller. He'll give you a piece
of gum which you should keep  for  future reference. If you ASK MILLER
ABOUT LUTE that he's playing  with,  he'll  tell you that the salesman
told him it was magic.  You  can  ask  him  about  a few things you're
interested in, and eventually he'll  tell  you  he's tired of the Lute
and wants to sell it. BUY  LUTE  WITH CHEQUE (careful of the spelling)
and you'll be the proud owner of a magical (?) instrument.
Lutes are VERY delicate, so PUT LUTE IN BAG and NORTH. Whooooops! It's
a good thing you protected the  Lute,  you clumsy oaf! Now WEST, NORTH
four times. As you go  through  the  courtyard,  you'll probably see a
description of fish jumping. Keep that  in  mind. In the Entrance Hall
GET LUTE and DROP LUTE, BERRIES,  CHEST  AND  GUM. Now let's check out
the upstairs.
UP and WEST will take you into the Library. EXAMINE DESK will show you
a paperback and a box.  READ  PAPERBACK  and you'll discover that your
instincts  were  right:  the  fossil  IS  valuable.  EXAMINE  BOX  and
you'llfind the outlines of a heart,  spade, diamond and club. Now OPEN
BOX and inside you'll  find  three  cards  and  a  joker. This is VERY
IMPORTANT. Pay attention to which suit  is  NOT represented in the box
(it's a variable); this will save  your  life  later. You can DROP BOX
because you won't need it anymore. Now you can READ BOOK. You will get
a variety of interesting topics, all  of them variable. Among them you
should find one that  tells  you  that  rats  can't swim, another that
tells you how to make a fishing  pole  out  of a piece of wood, thread
and needle or pin. Many of the  books  will give hints as to things to
come in the game  while  others  are  useless.   When  you're tired of
reading, go EAST (ignore the bathroom to  the North of here), EAST and
NORTH to the Billiard Room. GET  CUE  and then EXAMINE BILLIARD TABLE.
You'll see three balls of different descriptions on the table. Now HIT
(colour) BALL WITH CUE. This  may  or  may  not  be a variable (it was
always the Red ball in my game),  but  one of the balls will refuse to
go in a straight line.  GET  RED  BALL  (or  whatever) AND OPEN IT and
you'll find a diamond! DROP BALL  but  keep  the cue -- it's a  multi-
purpose tool!
Now EAST into the Music Room and you'll see an interesting stool. OPEN
STOOL THEN LOOK IN IT and you'll  find  a plastic bag. GET PLASTIC BAG
THEN EXAMINE IT and you'll  find  a  valuable original manuscript! Now
SOUTH twice to the Spare Bedroom.  There's a wealth of important stuff
here. First LOOK IN BED and  you'll  find  a  Sewing Box. GET BOX THEN
OPEN IT and you'll see some cotton  with  a needle. Now LOOK UNDER BED
and you'll find a china pot. GET  POT.  Now OPEN WARDROBE THEN LOOK IN
IT and you'll see a designer dress.  TAKE  DRESS. This throws a lot of
people off the  track.  The  china  pot  and  designer  dress are BOTH
treasures, even though they don't  look  like  much. We've looted this
room pretty good so go NORTH, WEST  twice  and SOUTH twice to the Main
Bedroom. There is a  strange  looking  painting  over  the bed, so GET
PAINTING THEN DROP IT. It's not valuable, but you'll see a hole in the
wall. Looking through the hole will show  you  a light a LONG way off,
so I wouldn't enter the hole  if  I  were  you.  You need a way to get
across the chasm to the light. There's a mirror on the cabinet, so GET
MIRROR and then OPEN  CABINET  AND  LOOK  IN  IT.  You'll see a plaque
there; and if  you  READ  PLAQUE,  you'll  find  two  buttons  and the
information that this is a folding bed. Being a very ingenious kind of
thief, you know immediately what to do, right?
SIT ON BED. Now you can't  reach  the  buttons from here, but remember
the cue? PUSH TOP BUTTON  WITH  CUE  and  Wheeee! You're in the Secret
Laboratory. If you LOOK  IN  CAULDRON  you'll  find  a sachet. EXAMINE
SACHET and you'll find that you better  not open it until you're ready
to use it. Since you have no idea  what it's good for, better leave it
for now. There's only  one  other  significant  thing here: the diary.
READ DIARY and you'll have an  idea  what  the  sachet is for, but you
still will  have  to  figure  out  the  other  ingredients.  The  word
"distasteful" gives you some ideas, though, huh?
There's nothing else to be done here  right  now so go WEST and you'll
find yourself magically back in the  Main Bedroom. Now North twice and
DOWN. GET THE PAINTING AND FOSSIL, then  EAST, SOUTH and EAST again to
the Gloomy Passage. OPEN DOOR and NORTH and  you'll be at the top of a
flight of stairs. The  cellar  below  is  infested  with  rats; but no
matter how hard you try, you can't get the rat poison where it will do
any good. On  the  south  wall  is  a  drainage  system  consisting of
stopcock and pipe.  Remembering  what  the  book  said  about rats and
swimming, OPEN STOPCOCK and you'll hear  water gurgling down the pipe.
But we want the water in the  cellar  so  GET PIPE and the cellar will
start to flood.  WAIT one turn  for  the cellar to become half flooded
then CLOSE STOPCOCK. Now  you  can  safely  go  DOWN and EXAMINE RACK.
You'll find two bottles there.  GET  ALL  FROM  RACK and you'll end up
with a red bottle and a Champagne bottle. EXAMINE CHAMPAGNE BOTTLE and
you'll find the  instructions  "Shake  me,  say  'Hooray'  and  I will
explode." Something you'll probably want  to  remember later. OPEN RED
BOTTLE THEN LOOK IN IT and you'll find  some wine and a ruby! GET RUBY
THEN DROP BOTTLE. (I suppose you can drink the wine if you really WANT
to.)
Now UP and SOUTH twice to the  Junk  Room.  You'll see a cube here. It
doesn't look very impressive,  but  GET  CUBE  and  then MOVE JUNK and
you'll find another exit. Go  SOUTH  and  you're outside the castle By
The Moat. There is another  of  those  Night  Deposit Safes here. It's
time to see if we can't  help  the local economy (and ourselves). OPEN
SAFE then put the ruby, diamond,  dress, plastic bag, fossil, painting
and pot in the safe (you won't be able  to put them all in at the same
time) then CLOSE SAFE.  Now NORTH  twice,  EAST, NORTH twice and EAST.
You've been working hard so it's time for a little recreation now.

                   GUILD OF THIEVES
                       Part 3

If you were lucky in the Library,  you  read a book that mentioned how
to make a fishing pole out of a piece of wood, thread and pin. If not,
this is something you  just  have  to  figure  out  yourself. The fish
jumping in the moat in the courtyard  is about the only other hint you
have about fish. You're going to  have  to  deal  with the bear in the
cage somehow, and although there IS some  honey available, as far as I
can tell there's no way  to  get  it,  and  it wouldn't accomplish the
purpose. A bear's OTHER favourite food is fish!
GET COTTON and then FIX COTTON TO  CUE.  The syntax is a little tricky
here, and if you don't  get  it  right,  the parser doesn't understand
what you want to do. Also, DON'T remove the needle from the cotton...I
could NEVER find a way to put  it  back!  Now all you need is bait, so
GET MAGGOT THEN PUT IT ON NEEDLE  and  you're all set! Go SOUTH to the
Courtyard and FISH IN MOAT. You  will  very  quickly catch a fish, and
the fact that it's dead doesn't matter. (Dead mackerel maybe?) Anyway,
go NORTH, GET COTTON FROM CUE,  DROP  CUE  AND COTTON. Then GET POISON
AND PUT POISON ON FISH. Now go EAST to the Dining Room and UNLOCK CAGE
WITH KEY and then GIVE FISH  TO  BEAR.  The fish will work wonders and
then you can OPEN CAGE, GET CHALICE,  CLOSE CAGE. (I don't know if the
bear will ever wake up, but  I  don't  believe in taking chances!  Now
SOUTH, EAST, SOUTH, SOUTH and  OPEN  SAFE,  PUT CHALICE IN SAFE, CLOSE
SAFE. Then NORTH, NORTH, WEST, NORTH,  WEST.  GET JAM JAR and go NORTH
once more. There is a stable door  here. EXAMINE DOOR and you'll see a
horseshoe. Let's RUB HORSESHOE for good  luck.  You see a golden glow,
but nothing much else happens. Well,  maybe something good will happen
later. Now EAST to the stable.  Simply  OPEN  JAR and a fly will enter
the jar and get stuck. This will come in handy later. WEST, SOUTH will
take you back to the entrance hall.  We'll need a few supplies for our
trip so DROP  ALL  then  GET  LAMP,  CHAMPAGNE  BOTTLE,  COIN, FINGER,
MIRROR, CUBE, LUTE, JAR AND GUM. Now  SOUTH, GET CAGE and SOUTH AGAIN,
WEST twice and NORTHWEST, SOUTHWEST. There's a gem stuck in the wax in
the ceiling, but it's really pretty  simple  to get. Just REFLECT BEAM
AT WAX WITH MIRROR and the gem  will  fall. CATCH GEM and you can DROP
MIRROR. Now NORTHEAST and SOUTHEAST to the Junction.
We're going to take a little  unnecessary  side trip here, just so you
can see what is going  on.  Go  SOUTHEAST,  SOUTH,  WEST and you're in
front of the bank. READ NOTICE and you'll see that it says "Closed due
to lack of business." Now OPEN SAFE,  PUT  GEM IN SAFE and CLOSE SAFE.
Now WAIT one turn and you'll see a  little man come out and change the
notice. If you READ NOTICE, you'll see that it now says "Closed due to
not much business."  It  might  be  fun  later  to  save  up  all your
treasures and bring them here and deposit  them one at a time, and see
how long it takes the little  man  to  drop from exhaustion! Now EAST,
NORTH, NORTHWEST  to  the  Junction.   If  you're  not  interested  in
watching the scenery  just  described,  you   can  bypass  that and go
directly to the Zoo  and  put  the  gem  in  the  safe there. From the
Junction go NORTHEAST  and  you'll  be  at  the  entrance  to the Zoo.
There's a toll gate here and you'll  have  to  PUT COIN IN SLOT to get
in. There is also a  Night  Deposit  Safe  here  in  which you can put
thegem if you still have it.  Now  EAST,  SOUTH and WEST will take you
to the Insect House. Some vandals have been at work here, but read the
plaque which will tell you that  the  snake (what's a snake cage doing
in an insect house?) who  escaped  likes  cold climates. GET SNAKESKIN
(you might want to make a wallet later) and then head EAST.
Oops! You seem to have  a  snake  corset!  Not to worry. Remember that
sign at the T-Junction which mentioned  a  Jungle? Jungles are HOT! So
go   NORTH twice and then  WEST  and  the  snake will expire from heat
stroke. Now you're faced with a yucky  spider,  but if you DROP JAR, a
sticky situation will be to  your  benefit.   Go  EAST  back to the T-
Junction. There's an Aviary to the  East  but we'll forget it for now.
SOUTH, WEST, and SOUTHWEST will take  us  back to the Junction.  We're
going to investigate another area now  so  go EAST twice, SOUTH twice,
WEST and SOUTH again  and  you're  at  the  Antechamber to the Temple.
There's another of those  Night  Safes  here,  a  good sign that there
might be treasure around!
SOUTH again takes you into  the  temple.  Whatever you do, DON'T touch
the statue yet.  Instead  EXAMINE  ALTAR  and  you'll  find an Incense
Burner. GET BURNER and you're  ready  to  investigate the other exits.
There is nothing at the Northeast  exit  so ignore it. Go SOUTWEST, UP
and EAST and you'll find  an  organ.  EXAMINE  ORGAN then GET ALL KEYS
FROM ORGAN. Now WEST, DOWN, NORTHEAST  and SOUTH. You'll see a beehive
here. EXAMINE HIVE and  you'll  find  that  it's  closed and there are
some gloves on it. You can  open  the  hive and there is honey inside,
but I know of no way in the world  to get it, and it isn't needed. But
the gloves might help  so  GET  GLOVES  then  NORTH, SOUTHEAST and UP.
There's an ivory  rhinoceros  here,  and  ivory  is  valuable,  so GET
RHINOCEROS then DOWN, NORTHWEST and  NORTHWEST  again. Then DOWN to an
exit with "WOBNIAR" above it. If  you're very observant, you'll notice
that spells rainbow backwards. Better  SAVE  the  game here, one false
step and you're a goner!  Those of us who have played HOLLYWOOD HIJINX
will NEVER forget the order of  the  colours of the rainbow. For those
of you who didn't,  they   are  Violet,  Indigo,  Blue, Green, Yellow,
Orange, Red. You must pass through  the  following room by stepping on
these colours in order. Assuming it is NOT a variable (it was the same
in every game I played) you  should  be  able  to get through by using
this sequence: SOUTHEAST (Black),  SOUTHEAST (Violet), NORTH (Indigo),
EAST  (Blue),  EAST  (Green),   SOUTHEAST  (Yellow),  SOUTH  (Orange),
SOUTHWEST (Red), EAST (White).  SOUTHEAST  will  take you to the Crypt
Room. The sarcophagus is locked, and what  better to open it with than
a  skeleton  bone?  So,  UNLOCK  SARCOPHAGUS  WITH  FINGER  then  OPEN
SARCOPHAGUS. There's a  skull  in  there,  and  if  you EXAMINE SKULL,
you'll find an eye in the skull.  TAKE SKULL THEN DROP FINGER. There's
nothing else of interest here so  go  EAST into  the Shrine. There's a
statuette here, and although the  description  is  pretty vague, it is
valuable, so TAKE STATUETTE. Now there's  a  black door behind a black
drape...so what do you  suppose  would  unlock  it? Right! UNLOCK DOOR
WITH EBONY KEY. Now OPEN  DOOR,  DROP  EBONY  KEY and go EAST. Nothing

here but a pamphlet,  so  READ  PAMPHLET  and  you'll get somevaluable
information about walking on coals.
We're done here so go WEST,  WEST,  and NORTHWEST to the white square.
Follow the rainbow colours to get out  (not the reverse of the way you
got it!). From the  white  square:  NORTHWEST,  NORTH, NORTHWEST, EAST
,SOUTHWEST, SOUTHWEST, NORTHWEST, NORTH  should  put  you on the black
square. Now NORTHWEST, UP,  SOUTHEAST  and  NORTH  to the Antechamber.
OPEN SAFE then PUT  BURNER,  STATUETTE  AND  RHINOCEROS  IN SAFE, then
CLOSE SAFE and some more  of  your  valuables have been deposited. Now
we're ready to tackle that statue. Go  SOUTH into the temple. Just for
safety sake PUT LUTE IN SWAG BAG and then GET STATUE.
Now you know why I told  you  not  to  touch that statue! Don't panic,
though, just WAIT one  turn.  Now  DROP  STATUE  (or you'll drown) and
NORTH three times which will  put  you  on  a  sandy beach. GET BROOCH
which is in plain sight and then  investigate those lumps in the sand.
DIG IN SAND and you'll find some wetsuit boots. GET BOOTS. Now go DOWN
to the Thin Shaft. If you  try  to  enter this shaft without the right
equipment, you'll slip and die,  so  WEAR  BOOTS  THEN DOWN and you'll
make it okay.  Now  go  SOUTH.  You  see  that  rope?  Well, you can't
possibly climb it unless you  WEAR  GLOVES.  Now  UP and GET PICK then
DOWN and WEST. Looks  like  these  minerals  might  be valuable so GET
MINERALS WITH PICK. You can now  DROP  PICK,  GLOVES AND BOOTS and GET
STONE. Now EAST and  then  SOUTH.   Does  this  look familiar? Sure it
does: It's the rope ladder you  let  down earlier; good thing, too! So
UP, EAST, NORTH and NORTHEAST and you're  back in the cave at the good
old Junction!

                      GUILD OF THIEVES
                           Part 4

Now we know  what  those  succulents  were  for  so  back  to the Zoo!
NORTHEAST, to the  Safe.  OPEN  SAFE  THEN  PUT  BROOCH  AND  STONE IN
SAFE,then CLOSE SAFE. Now EAST and then SOUTH and we'll try that other
key. UNLOCK DOOR WITH IVORY KEY then DROP KEY THEN OPEN DOOR. Now EAST
into the Office. There's lots of stuff  here, but ignore it all except
the spade. OPEN DRAWER THEN LOOK  IN  IT  and  you'll find a key and a
magazine.  GET KEY AND SPADE THEN  READ  MAGAZINE and you'll learn the
feeding habits of the Macaw. Now OPEN  DOOR and NORTHEAST to the White
Corridor. Then UNLOCK DOOR  WITH  KEY,  OPEN  DOOR,  DROP KEY, then go
NORTHWEST and CLOSE DOOR. There's a  noisy  little Mynah bird here who
can be of great help to you.  OPEN  CAGE, GET MYNAH, PUT MYNAH IN CAGE
then CLOSE CAGE. Now you  can  OPEN  DOOR and go SOUTHEAST, SOUTHWEST,
WEST, NORTH twice. If you get  tired  of hearing the Mynah squawk, you
can teach it to talk by saying  MYNAH,  HELLO, or whatever you want it
to say. This will be crucial later.
Now go WEST and GET  SUCCULENTS.  Then  SHAKE  PALM TREE and you'll be
rewarded with some Macaw  food.  GET  COCONUT.  (Don't  shake the tree
again, or it will be fatal!). Now EAST twice to he Aviary. There's the
bird you want, and he'll  tell  you  that he'll trade some information
for food. BREAK COCONUT  WITH  SPADE  THEN  DROP  SPADE  and then GIVE
COCONUT TO MACAW and you'll be  rewarded  with the ingredients for the
Baron's secret formula.
Now we're ready to deal  with  those  coals  so  go WEST, SOUTH, WEST,
SOUTHWEST to the Junction and  NORTHWEST  twice. Now RUB SUCCULENTS ON
FEET then go UP. You made  it!  DROP  SUCCULENTS here and go UP again.
There's nothing of interest in the  Boathouse  so just go SOUTHEAST to
the Yellow Room. You probably should  save  the  game here in case you
mess up the next part.
The secret to this puzzle  is  really  simple  if  you explore all the
rooms and draw a map. If you look at the map, you'll see that the five
rooms are laid out in the same pattern  as  the spots on the face of a
die. Dice are a very important part  of  the game from here on. (Which
is probably  why they included that  die  in the package.)  GET YELLOW
DIE then go SOUTHEAST. There are rooms with  a die in each of the four
corners of this White Room.  Get  the  three  other  die and come back
here. Okay...now if you examine the  slots  in the opaque case, you'll
see that they are coloured Red,  Green,  Blue, and Yellow, the same as
the dice. The dice you have all have  one spot on each face. They need
to have a five on each face (the  pattern of the rooms). So start with
the Red Die and ROLL DIE.  Wow!  That  horseshoe was lucky, after all!
Okay, tell Lady Luck FIVE. Then PUT  RED  DIE IN RED SLOT. Do the same
with the other three and the  case  will  no longer be locked! Now GET
PLASTIC DIE. Now I  think  it's  time  to  start  building the Baron's
secret recipe.
From the White Room go NORTHWEST  twice  then DOWN. Now RUB SUCCULENTS
ON FEET (check to make sure  you haven't GOT the succulents...you need
them here, but should be able  to  use  them without picking them up.)
Now DOWN, SOUTHEAST twice and  you're  back  at  the junction.  Now go
EAST twice, NORTH twice. At the  Entrance  Hall make sure you have the
cue, berries, heart, eye, cube and snakeskin. Now UP then SOUTH twice.
The bed which shot you into  the  Secret  Lab  is still up against the
wall, so PUSH BOTTOM BUTTON and  the  bed  will return. Now SIT ON BED
then PUSH TOP BUTTON  WITH  CUE.  In  the  lab,  GET  SACHET and then,
remembering what the Macaw told you, PUT HEART, EYE, SKIN, BERRIES IN
CAULDRON. The diary said something  about  symmetrical objects, so PUT
CUBE IN CAULDRON. Now  OPEN  SACHET  and  the  contents will turn into
powder. PUT POWDER IN CAULDRON and  when  you LOOK IN CAULDRON, you'll
see an anticube (which isn't  there).  GET  ANTICUBE (don't ask ME...I
just work here!).  Now WEST, then  NORTH,  NORTH, DOWN. We're about to
start the endgame, so  let's  check  our  provisions.  You should have
nothing but the LAMP,  LUTE,  GUM,  CAGE,  CHAMPAGNE  BOTTLE, DIE, and
ANTICUBE.  Back to the cave  by  going  SOUTH  three times, WEST three
times, then SOUTHEAST, SOUTH, and WEST.  The notice at the bank should
now say "Closed due to not quite enough business." Well, you can solve
that. There's one last treasure you  haven't noticed yet. EXAMINE LUTE
and you'll find a silver plectrum  on  it. OPEN SAFE then PUT PLECTRUM
IN SAFE and CLOSE SAFE. Now  WAIT  one  turn and the little man should
come out and change the notice  to  read  "Bank open all hours, please
enter."
There are a few preparations you  have  to make before you're ready to
tackle the bank. First GET CARD FROM  POCKET then PUT DIE AND ANTICUBE
IN POCKET. Now, we're gong to  teach  the  bird a new word. Say MYNAH,
HOORAY. You may have to repeat  it  before  the bird says it. Now CHEW
GUM and you're ready to enter the bank.
OPEN DOOR THEN SOUTH and you will find a couple of queues. Experienced
adventurers will have learned long ago not  to try to get in the short
line, so ENTER  FURTHER  QUEUE  and  you  will  immediately  be at the
teller's window. SHOW CARD TO TELLER and  you will be whisked into the
Bank Manager's office. He will begin  explaining  to you that he can't
let you have any of your valuables,  because  the bank would be out of
business. The timing is pretty critical here so pay attention. As soon
as you are in his office  DROP  CAGE  AND  BOTTLE. Then WAIT one turn,
then SHAKE BOTTLE. At  this  point  he  should  escort  you out of the
office. You may have to WAIT a  turn  after shaking the bottle, but as
soon as your are outside his office  and he has locked the door behind
him, PUT GUM IN KEYHOLE. It  is  important  that you do this while the
Bank Manager is outside his office, so that he can't get back in.
If you've  done  everything  right,  you  should  hear  the  Mynah say
"hooray" and there will be an explosion. Everyone will panic and leave
you alone in the bank. You  will  notice  that the roof has been blown
off; this is your big chance.
It's time for music so PLAY LUTE AND SING URFANORE PENDRA. You will be
floating in the air having  dropped  everything you were carrying. Now
go SOUTH and when you land you  will  be in the Bank Manager's office,
and about to begin a very clever and perplexing puzzle.
Go EAST into the bank vault.  You  will notice three exits besides the
one you came in. Remember that I said dice were very important in this
game? Well, the exits in  the  rooms  from  here on, are equivalent to
spots on a die. You  must  roll  a  number  on  the  die that does NOT
contain a spot corresponding to one of  the  exits in the room you are
in. In other words, you must use  an  exit that does NOT appear on the
die after you roll it. (You  may  have  to  read that several times to
catch on to what I mean.) To  make  it more complicated, each time you
use an exit, the number you  rolled  will  disappear from the die. You
must make your moves so that when  you  reach the final room (which is
ALWAYS  reached  by  rolling  a  FOUR)   ALL  the  numbers  will  have
disappeared off the die. It stands to reason that as you get closer to
your goal it's going  to  take  longer  to  get a number...rolling the
final four  may  take  30  or  more  rolls!  Luckily,  you  rubbed the
horseshoe and have Lady Luck on your side to make things easier.
Okay, here we go. The room you're in has three exits. ROLL DIE and ask
for a TWO. Then go DOWN (See,  the  centre exit was not represented on
the die). Now the room you are in  will have the same number of exits,
in the same position, as  the  number  you  previously rolled, in this
case there will be two exits, NW  and  SE.  This time ROLL DIE and ask
for a ONE. Go NORTHWEST. Now ROLL DIE and ask for SIX and go DOWN. Now
roll a FIVE and go WEST. Now roll a FOUR and go DOWN.
Aha! Here are all the treasures you deposited! But wait! There's more!
EXAMINE THE PILLAR and  you  will  discover  that  there is a weighing
machine on it with  a  cube  which  appears  to  be VERY valuable. The
weighing machine is delicately  balanced  so  that  if you disturb the
weight, you will die. If  you  EXAMINE  CUBE  you  will see that it is
about the same size as the one in your package. Notice they didn't say
IDENTICAL. It doesn't have any  spots...and  any  spots on the die you
have would change its weight;  THAT'S  why  you  had  to end up with a
blank die.
The solution is really  very  simple.  First  PUT  DIE AND ANTICUBE ON
SCALE. The anticube EXACTLY CANCELS the weight  of the die, so it's as
if you didn't put anything on there at all! Now GET CUBE AND ANTICUBE.
Voila! You have another treasure!  Now  GET ALL and, since you dropped
your lamp, GET WHITE. (Yup, it  works!)  You're still not quite out of
the woods yet, though. The  pillar  has  four  signs on it pointing to
four directions and naming the four  playing  card suits. If you chose
the wrong direction, you're mincemeat.  Remember  the box you found in
the Library? There was one suit  missing,  having been replaced by the
Joker. I hope you remember what it was...because that is the ONLY safe
exit! Find the direction on the  signpost  and then go that way.  Well
THIS looks vaguely familiar! It's  the  White  Die room. You have only
one task remaining now so go NORTHWEST, NORTHWEST, DOWN. Remember when
I told you you  wouldn't  need  the  succulents  anymore?  I lied! RUB
SUCCULENTS ON FEET then  DOWN,  SOUTHEAST,  SOUTHEAST,  then EAST four
times to the Jetty. Now PULL ROPE and then EAST again and you will get
your reward!
Congratulations, you're now a  full  fledged  member  of  the Guild of
Thieves.
